SOLEM QV'S DICERE I'AILSUM AUDE4T? LON DON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 7, MG. An Abstract of the Quarter's Revenue will be found in another part of our Paper, and gives a decrease on the Quarter of 1,189,9661., and on flue Year of 238,9401. The decrease has taken place since the sth of October last, and is almost entirely in the Excise branch, which amounts alone to the immense sum of 2,096,0931. With this gloomy account before us, it is some conso lation that almost every other branch of the Public Revenue affords an increase, and thus diminishes the decrease on the Quarter to the above sum, and very nearly balances the amount of Revenue for the Year ending sth January, 1825, with the amount of that. ending sth January, 1825. The fitUTI of the first being . 48,812,71 M, and the sum of the second 48,573,8101. Such is the state of the Public Revenue at this moment, and, we believe, a more gloomy picture of the state of the nation can hardly he drawn. however consoling the fact, that the revenue gives a very small decrease in the year, may be at present, it is obvious even this ground for hope cannot last long. The decrease complained of has taken place since the sth o f October, and the unhappy causes \vhich pro. duced it must therefore necessarily extend their influence into the currept qua: ter, and the current year. The nature of the national malady may be easily imagined, when it is said that the decrease in the Excise, in one quarter, is upwards of (2,000,C001. A letter of recent date from Thtvannah, states a general expectation to prevail there, that the port would in a few days be in a state of com plete blockade by a Mexican naval force. In consequence of this apprehetibion, great exer tions were making to ship, and clear out, with the least possible loss_of time. .. The French Papers, received this day, con tain nothing of any political importance. We have, however, selected a few paragraphs, which will be found subjoined : ZANTE, DEC. 14. The last letters from Trieste inform us, that Livadia is become the new theatre of war, after having enjoyed for some time the happiness of tranquillity. According to the new plan of the campaign, the Turkish troops which remained in Thee saly, and were for some time past concentrated at Zei tonui, have marched towards Salona, in order to effect a junc ture with the Albanian troops stationed there. General Gouraliastened to Attica, in Livadia, where he was joined by the District Militia, he marched into the mountains where he surprised the Turks advanced: guard who were pro. eeeding with full confidence and not expecting an attack.' This advanced guard was coMPleatly destroYecl. (Jourra threw himself immediately on the main body, and put them to flight. The Turkish column, which was advancing from Padradhik, hearing- of this battle, and expecting they should be attacked in the evening, retreated to the place they had left, under the cannon of which they thought them. selves in safety. After having terminated this glorious ex, Gourra 'at the head of his Bomeliotes and Livadians "Paired to Saloon, leaving a small corps of observation In the north of Livadia, to watch the Turks in Thessaly. Ibrahim Pacha has summoned Missolonghi to surrender, on Pain, in case of refusal, that the garrison and inhabitants should be delivered over to Military execution. LITCEENE, DEC. 15. I IThe Federal Director of Lucerne, to the Marquis de Moustier, in reply to that addressed to him by the Marquis, has written s letter on occasion of his recal from the poet of Ambagaador to the Swiss C mfederatione PAIII3, JAS. r. His Royal Highness the Pfnee of Orange set off un the is January from the Hague, to go to St. Petersburgh, to compli went his Brother-in-law upon his accession to the throne. The Austrian Observer, under date of the 15th December, has the following article : " We ought to attribute the irreparable loss we have just sustained to the journey into the Crimea, where the Emperor Alexander seduced by the beauty of the weather, made excur alone from 6 to 8 o'clock, without taking any precautions againa the coolness of the evening., particularly on the occasion of his visit to the scite of the Temple of Iphigenia, in Taurica. The Monarch returned to Taganrog in a state of fever. but would not take any care of himself, until the attacks be. came more and more violent. At last, on the Ist of December, at 50 minutes past 10 o'clock, Alexander expired. " The new Representation from the Diet at Presburg has arrived at Vienna. It is said t 3 be very :no lerate in its ex pressions, and very respectful in its tone, but nevertheless re verts to certain points which his Majesty did not think proper to concede. `• It is said that the Greek Committee at Paris have had an interview with Lord Cochrane. " Monsieur Cantor has been declared a defaulter on the French Stock Exchange for 800,000 francs." We have received Frankfort Papers to the 31st December, but they contain nothing of import ance. The following are extracts : EI.IIEIIYELD, DEC. 23. M. Becher, Sub-Director of the Rhenish West India Com pany, has been commissioned by M. Gorostiza, Mexican Con sul General at Brussels, to make out certificates of origin for the Prussian merchandize intended fbr Mexico, in the provinces of the kingdom of Prussia, from the Weser to the Western Frontier, and also to do any other business connected with Vie trade with Mexico that may occur in these same prov:nces. 11 is Excellency the Minister of the Interior and Commerce has au thorised M. Becher to accept this commission. We have had the pleasure of receiving ace . mnts from M. Steinchief, of the second division of labourers of the German American Mining Company, stating that the A rethusa, on board which they sailed from Antwerp, had happily arrived at Antigua. The whole Company, having got over the sea sickness, was well, and in high spirits, and they were to leave Antigua the 3d November for Alvarado ; so that the ship would probably reach its destination before the end of November, so that they arrived on the coast of Mexico in the most favourable season of the year. We feel the more pleasure at being able to give the public this agreeable news, because some time ago very melanchol► reports of the fate of this expedition had been circulated, which are thus refuted in the most satisfactory manner. BREMEN, DEC. 23. The Commissioners assembled here for the revision or the Act for the navigation of the Weser having terminated their labours, the final result was signed on the 21st by the Pleni potentiaries from all the States concerned, who have since left this city. SWITZERLAND, DEC. 27. The interrogatories of the thieves in Zurich are continued without intermission. Before naming the two members of the Government, the Commissioners desire to discover, as far as possible, the truth or falsehood of the statements hitherto made by the bands.

On Thursday Mr. CROTCII, the King's Mefie spnger, arrived in Downing-street with dispatches from Turin. Thursday evening Mr. LaTcninann, the King's Messenger, arrived at the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign Affairs, with dispatches from Madrid. Extract of a letter, dated Gnanaxuato, Nov. 17, 1825 :—" The arrival of Mr. Alaman, late Minister for Foreign Affairs, has occasioned some bustle and fe , tivines here, that . gentleman being the principal Manager of the United Mexican Mining Company, and being a native of this town, the Marquis de Reyes, as owner of one of the principal mines worked by that Company, defrayed the expences and conducted the ceremonies of the day. Early on Monday morning the party set out from hence, and as soon as they were in sight of th e Mine of Reyes, the ringing of bells and firing of rockets began. The great draught pit, the shaft of Santa Rosa, and other parts of the - mine, were decorated with festoons of flowers, and strew ed with odoriferous herbs ;.immediately the man whose business it is to perform the blasting in the mine tired a great number of prepared charges , and as they went off nearly simultaneously, the explosion was tremendous. The same Mall ascended from the mine, and having attired himself in aky.blue velvet, with lagold lace, the full dress of a miner, he join - al the party i n a col tion provided by the Marchioness. They then descended into the shaft by a new road lately made, in the middle of which a monument has been erected with the inscription....‘ In honour of the United Mexican Alining Company by the Marquis of San .luan de Reyes, 27th October, 1825. in ;the yard belonging to the mine the women employed in picking and (blessing th e p A ore, performed the concert of the hammer, cou calalituToours art of t it°. the dinner given by.the,Marquis, the tuos the dessert was a pine-apple, made of the first siver extracted from this mine since it has been worked by the United Coin puny:" The late panic in the City has very materially affected the public Sales at GAIL AWAY'S and the Auction -Mart, there having been only three estate sales 'at the above places during the last fortnight. Several sales, announced, have been postponed to the ensuing week, the auctioneers finding they could not obtain any real bidders. At the corresponding period last year, property to a very large amount was disposed of—say 30,0001., whereas those of this did not amount to b,OOOl. THE FUNDS. COllSOlS—Yesterday closed .

TILE THEATRE. D Un T,A Marriage Figaro, upported by the talents of I,►sToN in Figaro, Miss EPII ESB in Susannah, Miss l'ovEy in the Countess, and Miss Cuntr•r in the Page, attracted very numerous audience last night, who seemed to he highly gratified by the whole. Part of the attraction, however, may perhaps bo ascribed to the first representation of a new Farce, entitled Wool Gathering. The following is an outline of the I'LOT. " The piece opens with a dialogue between Mr. and Mrs. Pickleton (BENNET and Mrs. C. JortEa,) a retired grocer and his wife, from which the audience have an opportunity of team ing that. Harriet Pickleton (Mrs. l'a,YEs) is betrothed to a military officer, with the very romantic name of Hector Mango (PENI.EY), and that Clarissa Mango (Miss 1. PaToN) is about to be married to a Mr. Wander, (Lzierox). The ar rangement is not approved of by Mrs. Pickleton, whe desire's that her daughter akould be married to Wander, whom they have been expecting for some bouts to arrive. • At length he comes; and it turns out that the delay has been occa sioned by his getting into a wrong coach when half way on his road, and thus unconsciously going back to London. His conduct accords with the expectations which such a com mencement is calculated to raise. 11e hands money to Mrs. Pickleton to pay the post-boys instead of to his servant, and commits a score of other extravagancies, which he carries to their climax, by entering Mrs. Pickleton's bed-room instead of his own, and putting on Mr. Pickleton's dressing-gownl and . his wife's night-cap. The consequence is the universe uprousing of all the inhabitants of the house, and in this ge neral' confusion the Act ends. In the second Act he is urged by Pickleton to write a letter. to Clarissa to atone for his epparent neglect. He sets about it with much earnest ness, and completes it, after having wasted some time in dip ping the pen into the sand instead of the ink ; but no sooner is it done than he empties theink-stand over it, and renders his composition illegible. He begins again, but unluckily Pic kleton, by way of passing the time, reads aloud one of his while Wander is writing, and the consequence is a ridiculous mixture of sweets intellectual and sweets substantial, vows of passion with pounds of treacle, and professions of love with lumps of Sugar. This interview over, Wander is involved in new difficulties. Harriet determines to appeal to his generosity to promote her union with Hector ; and alarmed by the approach of her mother, she conceals herself in a closet. Clarissa next ; enters, and after sonic conversation, in order to avoid Hector, she takes retnge in the very same place. The denonement is now at hand. Mr. and Mrs. Pickleton and Hector enter, the young ladies come forth, and Wender's miseries are at their height. An explanation succeeds, and the three ends according to established custom in the contentment of all parties." This farce may be entitled a monodram, for it seems wholly intended to display. the talents of LISTON, whose absent mind leads him into a variety of mistakes and blunders, as mentioned in the preceding account of the plot. The ori ginal design is taken from _Boo vcnc, and a translatiou appears in The 'Spectator. It has been the subject of two former pieces, entit led The Absent Man, one written in the year 1764 by Mr. third., the benevolent Founder of TIIE THEATRJEAL FUND, a good actor, a man of learning, and a truly respe - ctable mem ber of Society. It is strange that in the anni versary festivals of the THEATRICAL FUND, this Gentleman's memory is wholly omitted, though it ought to be a standing toast. ilhe other Farce, en titled The Absent Man, was written in 1768, by the wretch e d BICKERSTAIT. The first was re presented at Covent-garden,and th e secon d at Drury lane. The latter was chiefly successful. inol.gathering, the Farce of last ni g ht, was no t less amus i ng i n t r i ns i ca lly than the former two, and has the advantage of Linos for the hero, one of the most ludicrous and original Actors that ever appeared before the Public. lie was admirably diverting on this occasion, as usual, and the piece, having the additional sup port of Mrs. YATES, Mr. W. BENNETT, and Mrs. C.JONES could not fail to excite a favourable re ception, and will probably be one pl. the chief comic props of the seasoo, FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. THE KING. WIXDSOR, JAN.

CHAPEL ROYAL. - -- Yesterday being the Anni versary of the Epiphany, or the Manifestation of our Lord Christ to the Gentiles, the same was observed as usual at the Chapel Royal. After the Reverend Mr. Barham, who offi ciated for the Sub-Dean, who was absent from indisposition, had read the proper Epstle and Gospel for the day at the Altar, Mr. Mash, the Gentleman Usher in waiting, approachei the Altar, and presented three boxes, according to ancient cus tom, containing gold, frankincense, nod myrrh; which were rec,?.ived by the Reverend Mr. Barham in a large gold dish be longing to the Communion plate, in imitation of the offering of the wise men of the East, on their discovery and approach to our Saviour after his birth. The other part of the Church Service was read by the Reverend Mr. Palonan ; an appro priate Anthem to the day was sung by Mr. Hawes and Air. Salmon, " 0, God ! who by th e leading of a st ar ," composed by 111 r. Attwood. Mr. Cooper presided at the organ. The three Lords Commissioners, who acted for his Majesty to prorogue the Parliament on Thursday, unit ing their ages, numbered upwards of 220 years. Th ey were the Duke of llontrose, Lord St. Helens ' and Lord Stowell, (brother of the Lo r d Ch ance ll or). The Duke of Montrose attracted much attention, in consequence of wearing, instead of the customary and plain cocked hat, a like shaped hat, but feathered round the edges, somewhat in the style of the nurse Guards band's hats. His Grace is said to have done so in virtue of his office of Loid Justice General of Scotland. ANECDOTE OF KING JAMES I.l.—The ing anecdote is recorded as a proof of the blind credulity of JA st ES H. Louis XIV. wrote hint a letter with his Min hand to acquaint him that the endJarkation then preparing itt Holland was intended against him, and in concert with many of the principal persons in his own kingelom.— . Louis also added, that his intelligence was of 'such a na, ture, that he had not even trusted one of his own Minis-. tern with it; and therefore earnestly intreated him to make his, own proper use of it, with the same reserve, since the least communication would not only defeat the end which he proposed by it for his Majesty's service, but prevent all such information fo r t h e f uture, by discovering the channel from whence he received it. To this' King Jetties sent an answer, in his own handwriting likewise, that he was. vary much obliged to his good brother of France fir his kind. intentions, but that he was perfectly easy himself as to the de. I sign of the Dutch armament, and thought himself obliged gr .titude to acquaint his Most Christian Majesty, that be bad received certain information of its being levelled at him; had to join his Protestant Subjects in the Cevennes fur which rea son he begged the French Ki ng to put himself ; immediately neon his guard against it. Louis was very much surprised at this aoswer, and being w e ll assure d . t h at hi s b rot h er o f England was imposed .upon, wrote him another letter, in the sane private manner, confirming the truth of his former corn,. munlcation, and conjuring him, in the.most pressing terms,' to y whether he had.not,divulged the substance of it to shale of hip dliniaters.
